European  War  Fiction  in  English 
A  Bibliography

Loleta  I.  Dawson 


PREFACE 


When  one  stops  to  consider  the  overwhelming  amount  of 
printed  material  issued  during  the  past  five  years  about  the 
war,  one  wonders  if  it  will  ever  be  fully  organized  for  the 
use  of  students.  Even  within  one  division  of  the  war  mate- 
rial, such  as  English  fiction,  the  number  of  volumes  is  still 
so  large  that  any  bibliography  such  as  this  can  merely  hope 
to  serve  as  a  beginning  to  the  subject.  Paradoxically,  this 
aims  to  be  a  complete  bibliography,  as  far  as  the  study  has 
gone.  The  number  of  titles  included  has  been  generous, 
because  in  so  large  a  subject  one  must  begin  with  the  many 
and  gradually  thru  further  study  eliminate  the  less  useful 
works.  Undoubtedly  there  are  books  included  which  would 
have  been  omitted  had  there  been  opportunity  for  more  study 
of  the  actual  texts  instead  of  only  reviews. 

The  bibliography  has  been  limited  in  the  following  ways. 
Only  American  bibliographic  sources  have  been  used.  Ex- 
cept for  the  three  novels  about  Alsace-Lorraine,  none  have 
been  included  whose  setting  has  not  been  within  the  war 
months,  that  is  from  August,  1914  to  Armistice  Day.  This 
excludes  the  fiction  dealing  with  reconstruction  and  other 
after  the  war  problems,  which  make  a  subject  by  themselves. 
Fiction  that  only  touches  on  war  problems  or  is  wildly  im- 
probable is  of  no  interest  to  this  subject  and  has  been  omitted 
as  far  as  possible.  An  effort  has  also  been  made  to  distin- 
guish closely  between  fiction  and  personal  narratives  and  to 
omit  the  latter.  The  term  "European  war  fiction  in  English" 
has   been  interpreted  to  include  translations  of  fiction  into 

9 


io         EUROPEAN  WAR  FICTION  IN  ENGLISH 

English,  and  both  novels  and  bound  collections  of  short  sto- 
ries when  more  than  half  the  stories  in  a  volume  have  war 
subjects. 

The  grouping  has  been  made  according  to  the  country  that 
forms  the  predominant  background  of  each  story  and  the  sub- 
divisions have  been  determined  by  the  chief  war  interest  dis- 
cussed. The  annotations  are  strictly  from  the  point  of  view 
of  the  war  content  and  not  of  literary  merit.  Comparisons 
have  been  included  as  much  as  possible. 

Books  marked  with  *  have  been  read;  those  starred  twice 
**  have  been  examined.

Le  sens  de  la  mort.  (French  title) 

In  a  military  hospital  in  Paris  two  men  face  death— 
a  young  officer  who  is  a  type  of  the  old  chivalric  Cath- 
olicism and  a  distinguished  surgeon  who  is  a  skeptic. 
A  thoughtful  contrast  of  the  moral  fulness  of  the  one 
death  with  the  stoical  but  barren  distress  of  the  other. 
The  story  includes  autobiographical  elements  from  the 
author's  own  war  experience.  Adapted  from  Carn.

PART  II 

Personal  Narratives  of  the  European 

War 

A  Bibliography 

By 
Marion  Davis  Huntting 


PREFACE 


Since  the  war  ended,  and  even  before  that  time,  there 
began  to  appear  a  great  mass  of  material  telling  about  ex- 
periences in  the  war  zone  but  one  never  knew  just  what  was 
worth  reading  because  the  articles,  for  they  were  mostly 
magazine  articles  at  first,  were  written  by  every  type  of  per- 
son,— by  those  who  had  never  written  anything  before  and  by 
others  who  knew  the  best  way  of  telling  the  things  that  they 
saw.  The  latter  articles  will  be  lasting  and  in  the  future  will 
be  source  material  for  the  study  of  the  history  of  the  Euro- 
pean war. 

Later,  books  began  to  appear  and  are  still  coming  out  in 
great  numbers.  Some  of  these  are  not  worth  reading  but 
others  will  last  for  many  years  after  the  war  has  become 
merely  history.  It  is  the  latter  type  of  book  and  article 
which  it  has  been  the  compiler's  purpose  to  list. 

This  bibliography  lists  material  in  the  Syracuse  university 
library  and  the  Syracuse  public  library.  All  the  personal 
narratives  of  the  war  in  both  libraries  have  been  carefully 
examined  and  only  those  which  have  been  found  to  be  really 
worth  while  have  been  noted. 

All  abbreviations  used  for  magazines  are  those  used  by  the 
Readers'  guide.     The  other  abbreviations  are: 

S.  U.     Syracuse  university  library. 

S.  P.     Syracuse  public  library.
